Abstract

A liquid sealed vibration isolating device is integrally provided with an elastic movable diaphragm and a relief valve. A pair of parallel straight line sections is on opposite sides of a circular elastic partition member. The elastic movable diaphragm includes a center of the elastic partition member and is surrounded by a pair of opposed circular arc sections and a pair of straight line sections formed by cutting an outer circumferential part of the elastic partition member. The relief valve is radially outward of the straight line section of the elastic partition member. A part of the elastic movable diaphragm reaches the circular arc section corresponding to the outer circumferential part of the elastic partition member so as to be increased in area as much as possible to absorb an internal pressure of a primary liquid chamber and to achieve low dynamic spring.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A liquid sealed vibration isolating device comprising:
a partition member for partitioning a liquid chamber into a primary liquid chamber and a secondary liquid chamber,
a damping orifice being arranged in the partition member to provide communication between the primary liquid chamber and the secondary liquid chamber,
an elastic partition member being provided in the partition member, the elastic partition member being integrally provided with an elastic movable diaphragm which absorbs an internal pressure of the primary liquid chamber and a relief valve which is arranged in an outer circumferential part, and
a leak passage to be opened and closed by the relief valve, being arranged in the partition member to provide communication between the primary liquid chamber and the secondary liquid chamber,
wherein the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a noncircular shape and is surrounded by an annular rigid frame section, said annular rigid frame section having a noncircular shape formed by a curved line portion and a straight line section, and the relief valve is provided in a part located outwardly of the straight line section and formed in an oblong shape along an outer circumference of the elastic partition member.

2. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic partition member is formed in a circular shape, the curved line portion is formed of a circular arc section corresponding to a portion of an outer circumferential circle of the elastic partition member, and the straight line section forms a chord of the outer circumferential circle.

3. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein a valve length which is a length of the relief valve is increased as approaching a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the relief valve.

4. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 3 , wherein the relief valve extends outwardly in the radial direction of elastic movable diaphragm in such a way as to be opened in spreading fashion toward the primary liquid chamber, wherein a valve angle which is an opening angle of the relief valve changes so as to be gradually decreased as approaching the middle portion in the longitudinal direction.

5. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a bending groove being provided in a base portion of the relief valve, wherein the bending groove is opened toward the primary liquid chamber and has a straight line portion extending in parallel with the straight line section.

6. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 5 , wherein both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the bending groove are bent toward the elastic movable diaphragm.

7. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the straight line sections are located in pairs in opposite positions across a center of the elastic partition member, and the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a width across flat shape having the pair of straight line sections.

8. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein a valve length which is a length of the relief valve is increased as approaching a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the relief valve.

9. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 8 , wherein the relief valve extends outwardly in the radial direction of elastic movable diaphragm in such a way as to be opened in spreading fashion toward the primary liquid chamber, wherein a valve angle which is an opening angle of the relief valve changes so as to be gradually decreased as approaching the middle portion in the longitudinal direction.

10. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , further comprising a bending groove being provided in a base portion of the relief valve, wherein the bending groove is opened toward the primary liquid chamber and has a straight line portion extending in parallel with the straight line section.

11. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 10 , wherein both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the bending groove are bent toward the elastic movable diaphragm.

12. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 3 , further comprising a bending groove being provided in a base portion of the relief valve, wherein the bending groove is opened toward the primary liquid chamber and has a straight line portion extending in parallel with the straight line section.

13. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 12 , wherein both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the bending groove are bent toward the elastic movable diaphragm.

14. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 4 , further comprising a bending groove being provided in a base portion of the relief valve, wherein the bending groove is opened toward the primary liquid chamber and has a straight line portion extending in parallel with the straight line section.

15. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 14 , wherein both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the bending groove are bent toward the elastic movable diaphragm.

16. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein the straight line sections are located in pairs in opposite positions across a center of the elastic partition member, and the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a width across flat shape having the pair of straight line sections.

17. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 3 , wherein the straight line sections are located in pairs in opposite positions across a center of the elastic partition member, and the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a width across flat shape having the pair of straight line sections.

18. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 4 , wherein the straight line sections are located in pairs in opposite positions across a center of the elastic partition member, and the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a width across flat shape having the pair of straight line sections.

19. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 5 , wherein the straight line sections are located in pairs in opposite positions across a center of the elastic partition member, and the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a width across flat shape having the pair of straight line sections.

20. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 6 , wherein the straight line sections are located in pairs in opposite positions across a center of the elastic partition member, and the elastic movable diaphragm is formed in a width across flat shape having the pair of straight line sections.
